Great pictures of Jerry and the whole family. Such wonderful memories. I know how much you miss him. Sure wish I had the chance to meet him, but, in away, I feel I did know him thanks to you, and all your great stories. Hugs to you BFF. See you later!

fantastic pictures - wow - the one with Kristen you look 20 yrs old - and tiny!!

I know you miss him each and every minute/day/week/month/year - but you were so darn lucky and blessed to have so much love in your life - you loved him and he loved you so darn much....when it is that good - it is never long enough!!

Jerry didn't have a long life - but bet he had a wonderful life - full of adventure and new and fun things - not to mention the wonderful family he raised and the beautiful loving wife he shared all those years with.....I am sure your heart is heavy today, you are in my prayers!! XOXO - heading out to church....Nancy
P.S. as they say "to have loved and lost - is far better than to never love at all"....

Sue,
What a beautiful memorial blog for your Jerry. I did remember this date of Jerry's passing and have been thinking of you.
You looked so gorgeous on your wedding day. It's obvious that you had a wonderful life with Jerry. Great memories and we know that you loved him so much and miss him every moment.

Hugs and prayers for you on this day that you will get thru it ok. Hope you will be spending a bit of time today with some of your wonderful friends.

Many hugs and love,
XOXO Trisha and John

Thanks T&J! I will be with family and friends today. Brian's birthday is Valentine's Day and he said going out isn't an option, so we're going to his house and taking steaks and he's barbecuing!

Jerry's smile pretty much lightened everyone's load for the day.

It's been the little things that you remember, the quiet moments, the smiles, and laughter that keeps Jerry in your heart and memory. Whenever I think about him, I always remember how he looked at you with such love. We both know that Jerry looks out for you and sends you subtle signals - such a great love.
Love you,
Linda

Thank you dear BFF. Some days are good some are still hard. I'm glad we saw James Van Praagh and got the connection. I know Jerry is still here. xo

Jerry knew how lucky a man he was. A man is blessed to have had as his own a woman like you.
